I don't really like that. I'd rather reduce the number of bewildering 
options, as two ways to create pages would only reduce Zope 3 
compatibility in the wrong run. five: directives should only be there in 
*addition* to Zope 3 directives, to do some extra setup to make it work 
in Zope 2, or something like that; they shouldn't replace Zope 3 directives.

What are the concrete use cases of having Zope 3 ZPTs in Five? What is 
missing in Zope 2 ZPTs?
